                                This was a long post, sorry \u2014 I made it as short as I felt reasonable. As a bonus hint for those who made it this far: You\u2019ll be surprised at all the things that count as 3x \u201cOnline Spend\u201d or \u201cBusiness Services\u201d with the BoA Cash Rewards family of cards. It\u2019s really easy to knock those out too.<\/p>\n
